Ok, received this Jr tsv today, bought last week in the pre tsv which was offered on qvc2 last week. Picked up today and didn't open. So I'm watching the official presentation Tonite and said, oh, let's see my bracelet. Opened the box (which by the way didn't come in a bracelet box at all, a square Judith ripka box in a plastic bag and pouch). Opened it and went OMG! Not in a good way!! Is extremely lightweight, very, very small. ( Looks dbl the width on tv). Yes, it sparkled, if you put it under the light, stones are so small!! As stated thin, lightweight and not what I expected from looking at it on TV. Won't say it's not well made, but not anything like it looks on TV. Not worth 100.00, maybe 50.00 ( only because her name's on it) just giving a heads up, so you won't be dissatisfied as I am. BTW, I usually love her stuff, have many pieces, but this is so not her. Put this review on here, because you probably wouldn't see in time if I put as a review on item.

I received my TSV bracelet a couple of days ago and I love it. I got it in silver and I'm debating about whether I'll also get the gold clad. 

 

When I first took it out of the box, I was surprised that it was so much lighter than I was used to with Ripka jewelry. I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but I decided to give it a try.

 

The bracelet looks great alone or next to a watch. It is also nice for layering. I wanted something that I could wear every day, and this is about 3 carats, so it is a believable carat weight for every day, and it sparkes. Because it's very low profile, it is comfortable. For people who don't really wear much jewelry, I could see this as being more of a special occasion piece. For me, it is a daily piece but I could also wear it for special occasions. The bracelet also has all of Judith's texturing. The little beads on the side are very smooth, comfortable, and do not snag. It feels so good on the wrist.

 

Overall, I love the low profile because it is so comfortable and wearable. It also seems sturdy even though it is a lighter piece. I also love the design and the setting. For me, it's a winner.

I ordered one in each color.  I will decide which I like better, and if they are keepers or not.  I  hope I like them!

Not much on the bracelet but I think Judith looks great! Like her hair lighter. Mine is about as long as hers and she gives me an idea for summertime hair...lighten up!

Wow!  Radically different reviews!

 

 

I actually love the look of the TSV, but there's no way I can justify ordering it.  I don't wear any of the bracelets already in my jewelry boxes.

What I really like about this bracelet, besides it being pretty and well designed, is that it is easy for every day. I have a lot of bracelets, but the ones that I tend to wear the most are the thin ones. I tend to wear one or two thin bracelets rather than a wider bracelet. (sometimes 3 thin ones) To me, this bracelet makes every day just a little bit more special. 

 

While I understand the review of the person who didn't like this bracelet, I like it a lot. I posted my review so that those who may have been interested would have a different perspective. Maybe our reviews are based on what we initially expected. 

 

Having this thin Ripka bracelet TSV makes me interested in some of her bolder line bracelets - but I know I wouldn't wear a bold diamonique one much, so I couldn't justify getting a bold one.
